While these posts have been coming in, I did a little more
investigation with my departmental ap support mgr. Turns out there is
more to it than I previously understood.

My company is actualy a Notes shop. However, since my department
hates Notes, our machines are setup with Outlook through a Notes
connector that allows us to use Outlook on top of Notes. Therefore,
to access Outlook remote, I'd not only have to use Outlook, but I'd
have to install Notes, and that aint gonna happen on a privately
owned machine.
